Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 2032

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Liz & Mike Dinnage

Representation Summary:

I am very concerned by the amount of housing that is being proposed for the above parish. We have had development after development in Broad Road in the last few years and not all of those houses have been sold. Between Havant and Nutbourne almost every green space has been closed by developers. This isn't solving the problem. We know there is a need for housing, but filling in every space, squeezing in housing in areas where the infrastructure cannot cope surely is not the answer.

I am very concerned by the amount of housing that is being proposed for the above parish. We have had development after development in Broad Road in the last few years and not all of those houses have been sold. Between Havant and Nutbourne almost every green space has been closed by developers. This isn't solving the problem. We know there is a need for housing, but filling in every space, squeezing in housing in areas where the infrastructure cannot cope surely is not the answer. Ok so you've satisfied a requirement for the next few years, but what then? We'll be saturated and there will still be a need for housing. We need to build a town. Find a serious sized piece of land next to a major road and furnish it with shops, schools, light industry, surgeries etc. This is not a new idea, it's been done successfully in the past.

Our already over developed area just can't take anymore.

If this isn't the right place for me to comment on the above proposal please could you direct me to the correct one.
